PORTABLE COMBINATION sEwINe TABLE A'Nn CABINEI'Q Application filed March 28, 1924. Serial No. 702,520.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, BEATRICE ToNNEsEN (full name), a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Portable Combination Sewing Table and Cabinet; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to a portable combination sewing table and cabinet, and it is an object of this invention to provide such a structure which can be readily rolled or moved to different parts of a room as occasion requires. It is a further object of this invention to provide such a structure with drawers and article holding compartments.

With these and other objects in view which will become more apparent in the following description and disclosures the invention comprises the novel structure and combinations hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and defined in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the different views:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of the cabinet with one spool support.

Figure 2 is a sectional view upon the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an end elevational view looking from the right hand end of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional view upon the line 4-4 of Figure 3, showing the spool support in lowered position.

As shown on the drawings:

Referring to the drawings, it will be observed that the cabinet comprises a frame 1 which slopes inwardly at the lower portions of its ends, and which has inward offsets 2 at the medial portions of its sides. An axle 3 extends transversely beneath the longitudi-. nal center of the cabinet, and a pair ofsupporting wheels 4 are journalled upon the ends of this axle and are positioned within the space defined by the lateral offsets 2. At the center line of each end, upon the inclined portion thereof, there is a depending swivelbracket 5 in which a caster 6 is journalled. It will be noted that the inwardly offset portions of the sides and the lower inclined ends bring the supporting wheels and casters within the outer surface of the cabinet so that they will not act as obstructions, which would be. objectionable in a dwelling room and which would interfere ledges 10. Drawers 11 are mounted upon these ledges. The spaces 12 and 13 between the partitions 8 and the ends of the cabinet form compartments in which material or the like may be kept. These compartments are closed by the hinged COVGI'Sll and 15, the latter of which has a rotatable spool holder 16 upon its lower surface.

A horizontal partition 17 extends across the lower part of the cabinet and forms a ledge or support for-drawers 18. The partition 17 is spaced from the bottom of the cabinet, and a pair of drawers 19 are mounted between it and the bottom of the cabinet in a pair of drawer compartments fcscmed between the inclined ends of the cabinet and the partitions 20 which are located between the bottom of the tray and partition 17 A handle 21 is secured upon each end of the cabinet for rolling the same to different parts of a room as desired. I

From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that a very handy sewing table and cabinet has been provided which is susceptible of housing the sewing paraphernalia, and the garments or fabrics that are being sewed, and that is susceptible of being wheeled about as desired.

' I am aware that many changes may be made, and numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

A portable combination sewmg table and cabinet, comprising an enclosed structure havin intermediate drawers and end comscribed In name in the resence of two 6 0 I 0 e a partments and havlng the lower portions subscrlblng wltnessesz of its ends mchned, wheels located wlthin 10 inwardly ofiset portions of the sides, and V BEATRICE TONNESEN' casters dependent from the lower inclined Witnesses: V ends and positioned within the vertical ends.

In testimony whereof I havehereunto sub- OSCAR HARTMANN.
